With turbocharging, supercharging and a pair of electric motors, this high-performance plug-in hybrid SUV has it all goin' on.
Volvo's Polestar division has worked its magic on the company's best-selling XC60 crossover.
This 2020 Volvo XC60 T8 Polestar Engineered is the result, and it's an interesting proposition to consider among sporty SUVs.
The XC60 Polestar gets its power from a twin-charged 2.0-liter in-line four-cylinder engine backed by a two-motor plug-in hybrid setup.

The model's electric-only range isn't yet official, but it's expected to be in the vicinity of 23 miles.
